Sage, who was adopted by her grandmother Michele Blair following the death of her father, was horrifically sex-trafficked and withheld from the custody of her family by ideologically-motivated officials who claimed that her parents failed to affirm her "transgender" identity, according to the Tuesday testimony given by her grandmother.

"Good morning. I am Sage's mother, better known as Nana," Blair said as she began her January 31 testimony before a subcommittee of the Virginia House, going on to recount her granddaughter's horrific experiences at the hands of professionals who she said put affirmation of the confused girl's "transgender" identity ahead of her physical and emotional safety.

"Sage said she doesn't know who she was back then. She wasn't a boy. She just wanted to have friends," Blair said. "But her school, the judge, the attorney, and the doctor were all blinded by their ideology. The consequences for Sage were unspeakable. Please don't let ideology harm another child. Let parents do our jobs. We know our children best, and we love them a million times more."

LifeSiteNews previously reported that Sage allegedly began identifying as a boy named Draco while at school, something officials kept secret from her family. In August, 2021 the teen ran away from home and became the victim of rape and sex-trafficking.

Authorities rescued her nine days later, but a Baltimore court ordered that she not be returned to her family because they had "misgendered" her. The order came in spite of the fact that the family wasn't even aware Sage had wanted to be called by a boy's name and pronouns until they arrived at the courthouse.

"She was locked in a room, drugged, gang raped, and brutalized by countless men. It was night. The FBI told us to pick her up in Maryland the next morning. We packed our cars with blankets and stuffed animals and arrived by 8 a.m. But we were told we couldn't see her," Blair recounted, in tears.

Instead of returning the girl to her family, the judge adhered to the requests of the pro-transgender Baltimore Assistant Public Defender, who reportedly insisted that the girl was being abused by her family because they allegedly wouldn't affirm the girl's new identity.

"They didn't even tell Sage that we came for her. We finally entered the courtroom and Sage appears on a huge Zoom screen from a prison cell. She looks tiny and broken, and I cry out, 'I love you, Sage.' Sage responds. 'I love you, too, Nana,'" Blair said, adding that Khan "rebuke[d]" her and her husband, claiming that Sage "is a he, and his name is Draco, not Sage"...
